Jealousy, Jealousy

Part 1.

Draken swore he saw fumes of anger coming out of his boyfriend's ears the moment Inui, one of his friends, hugged him from behind and squeezed his abdomen as he laughed.

— Y'all should know that, Ken has the best body here. — the pale-skinned blond said, causing Mitsuya and Takemichi, who were also with them in that old diner, to join in with the boy's laughter.

Ken was very proud of his shapely body, after all, he had worked hard for many years to be always in good shape, but he did not feel so comfortable when others touched him there. The problem was not Inui, but the fact that Ken was used to only one person touching him in that particular spot on his body.

Mikey.

The instant they started talking about Draken's body, the taller one noticed, immediately, the irritated glance that Mikey threw at Inui, who didn't even notice or pretended not to notice. Luckily, that didn't last long because shortly afterward Baji appeared yelling about how he wanted to beat up a person who had kicked a cat in the street, and he would do it if it weren't for Chifuyu holding him by the arm.

They finished their respective snacks and kept talking about other things, however, Mikey was the only one who was quiet and that was what was bothering Draken. He knew his boyfriend well enough to know that something was wrong.

Mikey was too quiet and it was already bothering him. He was used to his boyfriend's spontaneous way, the loud laughs he would give when Takemichi said something stupid or tried to tell a dad joke that wasn't funny at all. Besides, at the end of every meal, Mikey always asked for two or even three different desserts.

This time, he had simply said that he had eaten enough.

Enough?

Draken even widened his eyes at the smaller boy when he let out that sentence that he never thought he would hear in his life. Mikey was a big eater, he would never pass up an opportunity to eat something, especially sweets. And for Mikey not to want a dessert meant that something was very wrong. These little details about him were something only Ken could decode, it was automatic. He could tell when Mikey was moody, sad, or pissed off, especially when he kept swinging his left leg, another sign that showed he was upset. But he knew that if he started asking questions, in front of his friends, he might make the situation worse, so he put one of his arms around his boyfriend's shoulder, hoping that this act would help avoid the probable fight they would soon have.

They stayed for another two hours in the diner until Takemichi and Mitsuya decided to leave. The two lived near each other and would share a taxi there. Baji and Chifuyu went in another direction, leaving only Mikey, Draken as well as Inui.

Seishu lived nearby and would head in the same direction as them, something Draken didn't mind, it wasn't like he was going to refuse Inui's company anyway, but Mikey remained silent. The smaller one didn't even accept when Draken offered his hand for him to hold, pretending to pay attention elsewhere on the sidewalk and ignoring him completely. Inui seemed oblivious to the situation, he mentioned a few things about his college and how his relationship with Koko was still a mess, before saying goodbye and crossing the street, leaving him and Mikey alone.

— Have you anything to tell me? — Ken was the first to break that awkward silence.

— What? — Mikey replied, still choosing to look anywhere but at Ken.

— You started acting weird so suddenly, and you're doing all those things you do when you're... — he didn't finish.

— What? — the blond repeated, staring at him, clearly annoyed. — Go ahead, Ken. — He only used his real name when he was like that. There was no "Ken-chin" in those moments.

—, jealous. — Draken finished his line. — You know damn well I hate it when you do that.

— So what? — Mikey shouted. — Yeah, I'm jealous! Are you satisfied?

The tattooed blond wanted to laugh. Although he was also a little irritated by the tension, the way his boyfriend was acting all grumpy with a little pout on his lips, was funny. Mikey was very transparent when he was jealous.

— Why? I did nothing. — he tried to defend himself.

— You're an idiot, seriously. Letting others touch you like it's super simple, that's harassment. He didn't even ask you, he just put his hand on what doesn't belong to him.

— And whose body is it, Mikey?

— Mine, obviously.

— So that's it? — the taller one chuckled. — I thought this body was mine.

— Yeah, but it's also mine. I am the only one who can touch you like this. You should have taken off your shirt too, to show them the things I do, since you were so happy to hear that Inui thinks you are hot.

— He didn't lie though.

— Stop making fun of me! — Mikey punched him in the shoulder. — You seem to do this on purpose, you like to see me pissed off, don't you?

— Baby, I didn't even do anything, it was Inui who decided to get into this matter. Why do you always blame me?

— Because it's your fault you're hot and I can't stop these bastards from trying to take you away from me! And, Inui... fuck! I seriously considered punching him. Come on, even the girls who live with you know that they're not allowed to touch my property.

— Gods, Mikey, you are crazy. — Ken hugged the smaller boy's muscular shoulders, pressing him against himself. — There is nothing to worry about. Everyone knows we are a couple, don't let such actions upset you. I would never leave you, you know that.

— Huh... — he huffed. — you say that, but you also feel jealous when I get too close to another guy.

— Then we're even, shrimp. — Without taking a single step, he felt Mikey poking his stomach. — What now? Do you want to see my abs in the middle of the street? — Ken tried to steal a kiss from him, but Mikey deflected in time.

— No, asshole. — Mikey pushed him away, but Ken could see a smile on his lips. — When we get home, maybe. I'm still angry! Now carry me.

— What's the magic word?

— You don't deserve to hear it.

— So keep walking on your own two feet, princess. — Ken retorted.

— Okay, okay — Mikey pulled him by the right arm. — Carry me, please, Ken-chin.

— Easy, wasn't it? — Draken pinched his boyfriend's flushed cheeks and turned so Mikey climbed onto his back. In a single leap, Mikey was on him, wrapping his legs around Ken's waist, and gripping his neck tightly. Draken grabbed his thick legs and started walking toward the center of Shibuya. — Next time I won't carry you. — Lie.

— Shut up. — Mikey replied before burying his face in the curve of Ken's neck. — You're only mine.

I know, Mikey. I know.
